Apophysis 7x photoshop for mixing two renders together and little hsb adjustments: you can see the two original raw versions here [link]

I recently taught my dear friend ~OutsideFate how to make my kind of 3d blooms with Apophysis (and he got amazing results, the pupil has surpassed the teacher I'm so glad I could somehow repay him for all he taught to me about UF ) and while playing with the parameters we made together I took the chance to try something new for shaping and texture. Here I tried to use shredrad, wdisc and wedge_spherical

I can not get over how beautiful this is! As well as all of your other artwork! Just... wow! I use apophysis too, but I am new to the program and don't know how to properly use it at all! Do you have any enlightening advice or tutorials for a beginner?
